i should have read this before hitting the bike shop last night, luckily thats most of what i bought. picked up a 15 mm pedal wrench, a 14mm wrench for wheels, an all in one tool, a crankset remover, chain tools and cleaner, and tons of degreaser

went home, ripped the bike almost down to the frame. got to work on the wheels, figured those out ok, pulled out some bearings and went to the shop and got those replaced and got grease. realized that i needed a different tool to get my rear gears off of the wheel, going to pick that up tonight so that i can do that side of the bearings.

i also have to buy some specialized tools to remove by bottom bracket, when i was pedaling i had some horrid sounds coming from there, im expecting to have to rebuild it or replace completely. i got most of that off except for the final insides (need that tool!). also bought a new gear ring set with one smaller ring so that i can actually make it up a hill of any caliber

i started to true my wheels but after doing all that other stuff i didnt have the patience for it and was pissed i didnt have the right tools yet for the bottom bracket and the rear cassette, so im saving those projects for the next couple of days.
